By Shane Harris and Shane Harris Intelligence and national security reporter Email Bio Follow Nick Miroff Nick Miroff Reporter covering immigration enforcement, drug trafficking and national security Email Bio Follow May 5 at 12:58 PM President Trump announced Sunday that he has chosen Mark Morgan to head U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, taking senior leaders at the agency by surprise.
“ICE leadership had no advance notice of Morgan’s selection before the tweet,” said one senior administration official. Morgan had been forced to step down from the Border Patrol at the beginning of the Trump administration. But he later emerged as an administration supporter and said he believed the wall was an important component of national security, saying in an interview that “the wall works.”“I was removed. I’m standing up and saying, ‘I should have disdain for them, but I don’t because they are right,’ ” Morgan told the website Law and Crime in January.
Mark Morgan has more common sense for America than The Washington Post, Mr. Morgan is closer to the heart of American people! Thanks to Mark Morgan's hard work!
margerry777 Oh good lord! If he backs ICE what was he doing under obama. Sitting on his hands and watching aliens come on?
the only obama official with a vision
Of course he supports the border wall. Another TRUMP GANGSTER!
Figures another one of Trumps only the best people, just scary.
Abolish ICE Immigrants good Americans bad. *Beeeeep...*
He screwed up but then he did by working for Obama as well.
There will still be no funding for a wall.
Is he what they call “A crossover”?
Awesome
I saw ‘Trump taps’ and thought, another woman going to get him for sexual assault!
...and what are we to take from “former Obama official?” I bet you will find hundreds of people who worked in the Obama Administration who had different views than he had of a lot of things. Guess wha, they weren’t the president, sooooooo...
Good god
Oh no an Obama man ? So how will democrats and the fake news media discredit and belittle him
Here comes another one who will just end up destroying his own career by association with this mess
Regarding border security, Obama had done reasonably good job. Besides appointed this hardliner, Obama started family separation policy.
Another 'soul gutted'...!
Fox News recruitment special
Did he resign yet?
They will conjure up fake scandals again. politics
